COCKTAILS FOR A CAUSE
-- Tijuana Flats Hosting Happy Hour to Raise Money for Those in Need --
On Thursday, December 8, the Tijuana Flats Just in Queso Foundation will be raising money for individuals, organizations and communities in need by hosting a happy hour fundraiser at Wall Street Plaza’s Waitiki Lounge in Downtown Orlando.
This event is a very special occasion for the Just In Queso Foundation as it is only $5,000 away from achieving its $1 million raised milestone. The organization hopes to collect its millionth dollar at this event while celebrating not only the impending milestone, but also the incredible support and generosity received up to this point.
Attendees will enjoy live music, cocktails and a raffle. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Just in Queso Foundation, which uses money raised via events like this one, to support great causes like children's organizations, breast cancer research and other people and groups that are in need in the community. This event is the perfect opportunity to bring friends and families together to demonstrate community support.
